Notes: Drawing
on a long list of, well, exotic percussion Martin and the boys
build a bamboo wall of sound this time out. And their version of Misirlou is
outstanding. The theme is to use instruments of the East to play
contemporary music of the West and they seem to pull it off in
fine fashion. Another fetching femme to add to your cover collection.
Mmmm, I think I hear the ocean and a Mai Tai calling now....
